ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Nicolas and I live in Belgium, near the coast and the border with France. I want to get the maximum out of life by exploring the world, meeting and helping people and find happiness while doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

It's hard to write my philosphy down because I'm thinking and changing it all the time. I try to understand the world as good as possible. Both science and society. I like to think scientific about most things in the way that nothing is known for sure and that every assumption is on the brink of being proven wrong. Therefore one should always be humble and modest because everything you know is uncertain and everyone you meet knows something you don't. I also like to realise how much we are connected to each other and this world and how we are a part of it. It shows me that we should take care of it and all the creatures on it.

Interests

I like to do sports. I do athletics, mostly running. I also like swimming and in the summer I'm a lifeguard at the Belgian coast. I fill the rest of my time by going out with friends, reading, listening to music, studying and of course travelling.
